My elderly mother, (78), has allowed my brother, (50 yrs. old) to be a live-in guest and lodge in her mobile home, (that she owns), for almost a year now. He has been paying her $200 per month and there was no lease signed nor security deposit placed. He has been psychologically abusive to her with verbal rudeness, crude remarks & prying into her private life. Also, my elderly uncle, (80), lives at her home as she cares for him. My brother has also made a complete mess of her home & doesn't clean up after himself. He has many personal items spread throughout the place.
Since Sept. 1, 2019, she has been telling him that she wants him to move out by January 1, 2020. He is very lazy, working only 1 or 2 days a weeks for a Walgreens. He gets mad at her suggestion to seek more work and/or hours and then it becomes another argument, which is quite disturbing to both my mom & my uncle. Living in this environment is not good for their health either as his arguing causes them a lot stress, so I'm highly concerned. Unfortunately, I do not close by to them either. I have helped my mom by composing a 60 day notice that she will be giving to him on November 1st. So far, he has not been taking her seriously, saying he has no where else to go and saying that she is cruel for wanting him to leave. He is in complete denial of the situation.
My question is: What if he doesn't leave and then denies ever receiving the 60 day notice she will be giving him. Are there any legal steps she can take to prove that she gave him the notice? Like getting it certified or perhaps give a copy to the local Police Dept. (especially since she may need their help getting him removed from the premises)? Thanks in advance to anyone providing advice... I truly appreciate it!
